Making "Our Shattered Faces Whole": The Black Goddess and Audre Lorde's Revision of Patriarchal Myth

From title to epilogue, Audre Lorde's Zami: A New Spelling of My Name explores the power words give women to redefine themselves and their world. By affirming her ability to rename herself, Lorde makes an important contribution to the growing body of work examining women's use of language.' In both her poetry and her prose, she insists that only those women who can speak for themselves have the authority to control their own lives. Because the traditional male-identified stories silence women by denying their existence, she challenges her female readers to reclaim the power of speech: they must reject the patriarchal names and define reality for themselves; only then can they subvert the existing forms of oppression. Lorde illustrates this vital connection between language, self-identity, and action in Zami. As her description of the novel as a biomythography suggests, she appropriates and transforms conventional modes of discourse. She reclaims her African roots and replaces the Judeo-Christian myth with one validating female experience. As several critics have observed, Zami can be described as a revisionist mythic tale. Often, however, the novel's mythical dimension is equated with a timeless realm and a personal quest. Chinosole, for example, distinguishes between Zami's past-oriented mythical referent and the future-oriented vision she finds in Lorde's later work. Unlike a poem such as Sisters in Arms, which offers a revolutionary call to collective action, Chinosole claims that the novel's

As Dr. Epstein points out in a recent editorial (1), there is a difficulty in implementing such practices, even when they seem to be well substantiated. He gives several possible explanations but fails to explicitly mention an additional important factor. Specifically, public opinion, the tort system, and individual patients all indicate that there is an unwillingness to accept a diagnostic accuracy of less than...Reference1. Epstein P.

Audre Lorde: Vignettes and Mental Conversations

Audre Lorde, African American, is a writer. She is a professor of English at Hunter College of the City University of New York, where in 1987 she became the first woman to be Thomas Hunter Professor. So important is she to the students at Hunter that when they established a women's poetry centre there, the students named it after Lorde. She has published thirteen volumes of work and in 1974 her book of poetry, From A Land Where Other People Live (Lorde, 1973) was nominated for the National Book Award. She is also a lesbian, feminist and activist poet, who dedicates her work to an acceptance, understanding and use of difference in the struggle to change the world. Seemingly simple, this work is practically, intellectually and emotionally enormous because it involves the creation of new ways of seeing and being from within the interstices, the very fabric, of our current social realities. She is a poet and as such there is both an aural and visual quality to all her work including her essays and biomythography, Zami: A New Spelling of My Name (Lorde, 1982a). The texture of her writing, the rhythms and tones of her voice and the economy, precision, yet multiplicity of meaning of her words, are those of the poet. To fully comprehend her, to feel the impact of her work, one needs to hear her, if not in the person then to be able to conjure up her voice. To hear how she delivers the words that we can see on the written page. How then is it possible to write in connection with Lorde in the absence of the voice and when, for much of the time, I find her poems beyond the bounds of my comprehension? Surely it is both audacious and partial, and can only lead to a one-sided and superficial engagement with her work. Well that might be the case if this were an exercise in literary criticism, but it is not. Rather it is part of a longer piece which

A Lytell Cronycle: Richard Pynson’s Translation (c 1520) of La Fleur des Histoires de la terre d’Orient (c 1307) by Hetoum

readers who care to learn about the author and his career, Robert Calder’s thoroughly proficient biography provides ample opportunity. munro beattie / Carleton University Hetoum; Glenn Berger, ed., A Lytell Cronycle: Richard Pynson’s Trans­ lation (c 1520) of La Fleur des Histoires de la terre d’Orient (c 1307) (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1988). lxviii, 203. $47.50 The Armenian aristocrat Hetoum wrote La Fleur des histoires de la terre d’Orient about 1307. It is in four parts: the first a geographical survey of Central Asia and the Middle East, the second a historical survey of the regions, the third an account of the rise of the Mongols and the subse­ quent conflicts between the Mongol rulers of Persia and the Moslem rulers of Egypt, the fourth an outline of a proposal for a new Crusade involv­ ing an alliance between the Mongols, the neighbouring Christian nations, and Western Europe. Hetoum’s work was very popular and influential in the later Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Mandeville’s Travels, for ex­ ample, used parts of La Fleur des Histoires, and two Tudor translations were made of which one was presented to the Duke of Buckingham and the other to Henry VIII. However, it is not a well-known work today, and Glenn Berger’s edition of Richard Pynson’s A Lytell Cronycle and selections from the British Library MS Royal 18.B.26 is the only complete English text of Hetoum’s work currently available. A Lytell Cronycle is the sixth in the series put out by Toronto Medieval Texts and Translations of important yet difficult to find medieval works. The quality of Berger’s editing is exemplary. He has had to deal with the id­ iosyncrasies of two different texts as well as the errors in translation from the French original. Berger has followed modern usage in word-division, punc­ tuation, capitalization, and paragraphing; however, he has kept Pynson’s spelling of well-known Mongol names such as Cangius and Cobila can for Genghis and Kublai Khan. It is understandable that Berger would not un­ necessarily change Pynson’s spelling, but Berger’s spelling of proper names can be erratic. “Genghis” appears, for example, in three forms: Cangius in Pynson’s text, Genghis in the notes and commentary, and Chinggis on a map! Overall, none the less, Berger’s editing is helpful. He includes notes on English/French variants which elucidate the obscurities in Pynson’s transla­ tion or record significant omissions and additions to the original. In addition to a useful introduction to the historical background of Hetoum’s life and work as well as the Tudor translations and a discussion of the different meth­ ods of translation, the editor provides a fascinating look into the chivalric 119 atmosphere of the early Henrician court and the diplomatic maneuverings which made the seemingly anachronistic idea of a crusade appear momen­ tarily appealing. To Hetoum’s text Berger provides maps and illustrations as well as copious historical notes and commentary, a selective bibliography, textual notes, notes on English/French variants, an index of proper names and places, and a glossary. To enable the reader to compare translations, selections from the British Library MS appear in an appendix. The volume is printed with admirable accuracy. The appeal of this volume to the historian is obvious. As an Armenian, Hetoum had an unusual perspective on the Middle East of the late thirteenth century and the convergence of four cultures, Western Crusader, Armenian Christian, Moslem, and Persian Mongol. Hetoum is often inaccurate or confused in his historical facts, as Berger carefully points out and corrects in his commentary, but he was close to the historical events and may have been an eyewitness to some of them. His firsthand knowledge of the Mongols and their culture is exceptional. The appeal of this text for the student of English literature is less evi­ dent. La Fleur des Hisioires was a basic source for Mandeville’s Travels and it is disappointing that the editor does not provide more indication of which particular parts of Hetoum’s text were used. Berger’s commentary is focussed largely on the historical aspects of Hetoum’s text...

Preschool children's explorations of letters in their own names

ABSTRACTPreschool children's early understanding of letters was explored using literacy events focusing on name. Five tasks were designed to elicit information about children's conceptualizations of letters in their own names. Responses were analyzed descriptively to determine general patterns. Children were then clustered into strategy groups. These groups provided a basis for a developmental description. Children's own names proved to be a unique source for creating and testing hypotheses concerning letters due to frequent exposure to both the printed script and the oral script (the spelling of name). This exploration was marked by several major transitions: a movement from a unidimensional conceptualization of letters to a multidimensional conceptualization; a movement from general principles to an assimilation of specific knowledge regarding the principles; and a movement from independent explorations of the printed and oral scripts to integration of the two scripts.

The chronicle of John Malalas (review)

Reviews 141 internal economic and socid influences in laying the foundation for a harmonious blend of self-interest and some sort of inherent commund regard for the public good, dl of which, in the author's view, came to an end with the tighterregulationand control experienced in the foUowing century. John Wdmsley Department of History Macquarie Umversity Malalas, J. The chronicle of John Malalas, trans. E. Jeffreys, M . Jeffreys, R. Scott, et d. (Byzantina Australiensia 4), Melbourne, Australian Association for Byzantine Studies, 1986; pp.xU, 371; R.RP. A U S $27.00. The chronicle of the sixth century Byzantine author John Malalas covers the history of the world from the creation of Adam to the reign of Justinian. It has not been preserved well. A n eleventh century manuscript contdns most of the text but a number of foUos are missing and, beyond this, it is clear that it abbreviates a good ded of the origind. To an extent its deficiencies can be repaired by consulting earlier materid that M d d a s may be presumed to have used and later Greek authors, not dl of them published, who excerpted or paraphrased Mdalas. More distantly, Armenian and Syriac materid which stands in some relation to the origind text can determine what M d d a s may have written, as can the Ethiopian translation of an Arabic translation of a Greek (and Coptic?) chronicle by John of Nikiu, generally cited in a translation into EngUsh. If this were not enough, there is dso a fairly full medievd translation of the text into Slavomc. The task confronting thoseresponsiblefor this new translation of Maldas into EngUsh was therefore immense. They decided to provide a translation of the eleventh century manuscript which Dindorf took as the base for his edition in the Bonn corpus (1831) and to provide a subtext introducing materid from other sources. They promise a forthcoming volume which wUl provide a rationde for some of the decisions they have taken. For the time being it can be sdd that they have performed their labours on the text with amazing thoroughness and that, quite apart from its value as a translation, this book is by far the best cunently available guide to what Malalas may have written. But most readers of the volume will simply use it as a translation of a difficult text As it happens there is dready a translation of the Slavonic original of books VIII-XVIII (the last book incomplete), that by Matthew Spinka in collaboration with Glanville Downey (Chicago 1940), and the comparison of two passages will enable theirrespectivemerits to be assessed. 142 Reviews Firstly, from p.372 of Dindorfs text: 'During his reign, Czar Leo fought a terrible naval battle with Zinzirich the Vandal, the Czar of Africa' (Spinka/Downey); 'Leo in the time of his reign began a campdgn agdnst Geiseric the Vandd, king of the Africans, fighting a tremendous sea-battle' (Jeffreys/Jeffreys/Scott). Not only is the latter version closer to the origind in its verbd precision, but intitulatureas well. To take another example, from p.383 of Dindorfs text: 'During [Zeno's] reign, Theuderich (Pheodorit), the son of Vdemar, the Stratelates in praesenti, who had been deposed from the consdship, seeing what befell Armanis, feared the Czar' (Spinka/Downey). This is a woefd guide to the meaning of the passage. It is translated more conectly as 'During his reign the ex-consul Theoderic, the son of Vdamer, who had been brought up and educated in Constantinople, was magister mihtum praesentalis. But dter seeing what had happened to Armatus he became draid of the emperor Zeno' (Jeffreys/Jeffreys/Scott). Students approaching Theoderic via the index will be misled by a mistaken conflation of him with Theoderic the Visigoth. They may have found it usefd beingtoldthat Theoderic was certdnly not Vdamer's son, dthough a footnote reference to PLRE 2 which is suppUed would dlow them to clear this up, and could have been interested in the fact that M d d a s spelt Theoderic's name SeuSepixoc,. Here, as elsewhere, the translators amend his spelling of proper names to bring it into conformity with received usage. But there can...

Hispanic Given Names In Five United States Cities: Onomastics As A Research Tool In Ethnic Identity

Scholars of onomastics and scholars of different ethnic groups have documented the strong relationship between ethnic identity and given names, but social scientists generally have not included onomastics in studies of ethnic identity. This report compares given names for males and females in five Hispanic geographical communities (Miami, Tampa, San Antonio, Denver, and Albuquerque). Names and spellings of names are classified as Spanish, Bicultural, or English. Male and female patterns are similar in each community, but noticeable Spanish-Bicultural-English differences are found in these five communities. This report supports the bicultural theory of adjustment. Even when English spellings or names are used, the tendency is to use names popular in Spanish. In conclusion, it is suggested that more attention should be given to naming patterns as an indication of ethnic identity.

The Folklore of Spain in the American Southwest: Traditional Spanish Folk Literature in Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado

Chapters five through seven deal with the California expedition itself; with extensive analysis of cartography; the nature of ships, sailing, and sailors; methods of navigation; and the extant vague logs of the voyage. A final chapter is devoted to an analysis of post-voyage hearings and litigation, contemporary accounts, and a historiography of the voyage. Kelsey concludes his book by quite properly stating: In the grand scheme of Spanish settlement in the New World, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo played only a supporting role. The author has done an excellent job in documentary analysis as well as in producing a biography of a heretofore elusive figure. Extensive notes and an exhaustive bibliography of manuscripts, books, and periodical articles in Spanish, English, French, and Portuguese reflect the diligent research of the author. A judicious selection of illustrations and maps, and the inclusion of an analytical index enhance the work. Lest it be said that this review is excessively praisworthy, a few nit picks may be found in accenting and spelling of Spanish words and names, probably the result of typographical slips; also, there is room to doubt Peninsular Spanish devotion to the Mexican Virgin of Guadalupe as early as 1543, since devotion to the Castillian Virgin of the same name had existed for over a century earlier. Scholarly and readable, nicely printed and bound, this book is a major contribution to the history of Spanish California, and no collection of Californiana is complete without it. It is particularly recommended to the California Portuguese community. University of San Francisco W. MICHAEL MATHES

Sicily and South Italy: the Background to Thucydides Books 6 and 7

The story of the Greek settlements in Sicily and southern Italy is not commonly regarded as one of the 'central themes' of Greek history. For long periods, the paucity of documentary evidence means that there is little story to tell anyway, and when a history of events is possible, it is often because those events are closely linked with the more fully documented history of Greece itself. Such an occasion occurred in 415, when the Athenians decided to send a fleet to western waters, and subsequently to undertake the siege of Syracuse. These events, so vividly narrated by Thucydides in the polished narrative of Books 6 and 7, are often studied today, but many modern readers start with a disadvantage shared, as Thucydides would have us believe, with the majority of Athenians of his own day - ignorance of Sicily and its inhabitants. Thucydides responded by giving his readers an account of the various peoples who inhabited Sicily, to impress upon them the number and power of the cities and settlements on the island (6.2-6). This article offers a short introduction to the political situation the Athenians encountered in South Italy and Sicily. It is written with a minimum of documentation, apart from references to the text of Thucydides. (The spelling of proper names follows that used in the Penguin translation, from which quotations are also taken; some suggestions for further reading are given at the end.)

Life in Egypt under Roman Rule

The 25,000 perfectly preserved papyri unearthed from the dry sands of Egypt in the past 100 years yield insights into the life of ancient Egypt that are unequalled for any other ancient civilization. Piecing together the stories and historical information contained in these documents, Naphtali Lewis has written a rich, descriptive social history of Egypt, 30 B.C. to A.D. 285. Replete with stories of individuals--such as Kronion, the 2nd-century farmer whose late life was disrupted by debt, domestic strife, and divorce--this book describes the class structure, means of livelihood, and ways of doing business in Roman Egypt. Here is the fascinating story of how the middle and lower classes lived in the towns and peasant villages, of their religion, their personal affairs, their laws, their allegiances. Lewis explores the Egyptians' growing discontent with Roman rule and the ways they voiced their discontent. In many cases, he lets them speak for themselves, in choice quotes from the papyri. To provide a context for reading Life in Egypt Under Roman Rule, Lewis includes a brief history of Roman-Egyptian relations before occupation as well as notes on the spelling of names and Roman imperial titles. Unique among the histories of the ancient world, this book describes everyday life in Roman-Egypt--and the thoughts and fears of the people who lived there.

An Example of Homophony in Maya Script

This report demonstrates recourse to homophony in ancient Maya script, illustrating the generalization of signs on the basis of their phonetic values, apart from their primary semantic values. It focuses on substitutions, in eight glyphic contexts, of signs for “sky,” the number “four,” and “snake,” the words for which are homophonous or nearly homophonous in most Mayan languages. A final, unique glyphic context exhibits the use of homophony in a spelling of Kukulcan's name from the classic period.

Spelling of Münchhausen-Reply

<h3>In Reply.—</h3> There does seem to be some confusion surrounding the spelling of Baron Münchhausen's name. Since we use<i>Dorland's</i>as our primary source for medical terms, we have been following their entry (under "syndrome"):<i>Munchausen</i>. Even they do not maintain consistency, however; under "Münchausen's syndrome" they<i>do</i>use an umlaut and say the syndrome was named after Baron von Münchhausen! Checking in<i>Stedman's</i>, I found, under "syndrome,"<i>Munchausen</i>. Under "Munchausen," I found<i>Karl F. H. von Munchausen</i>given as the spelling of the person's name. In<i>Webster's Third</i>, there is more confusion. The spelling of the entry is<i>munchausen</i>, but in the definition that follows, it is spelled<i>Münchhausen</i>. We will henceforth follow Dr Blodi's leadership and "correct" our dictionaries to<i>Münchhausen</i>.
